Deskripsi

Diet-induced changes in the microbiome have been associated with obesity. Here, using a mouse model, the authors show that a mixed protein source found in western diets exacerbates diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance by potentiating hepatic mTORC1/S6K1 signaling via microbial production of branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA).
